In wat meer detail…

It's more interesting to check out my addons, or listen to the beautiful music my older son Charlie Liu produces - at least 10 million viewers have watched him perform piano on TV. Less than 1/20 of that number of people have downloaded my software, not that I'm complaining or anything!

Avoids the URL redirection on websites like Google/Yahoo and instead quietly opens the real links directly to help with speed and privacy, as it'd avoid redirection delays/potential ads/stats collection. NOTE: NOT for Android!!

The fastest (yet safe) addon to close tab using mouse only! Close any tab by double clicking the tab. Close current tab by triple click anywhere on the page. Optionally middle click or double right click on page to close tab.

A very well designed and implemented addon. There are many things to like about the Find in All Tabs, with the tabs sorted by # of hits, and content-not-yet-loaded tabs (thus no text search can be done) highlighted in red italics and clicking on them would show a link that you can then click and load the content of the tab and search at once (nice touch!). Clicking on a match goes to the match on page. An "Update Results" button to redo search in all tabs.

For text search in current tab, the scrollbar highlight and current match highlight are both nice - although personally I found the bull's eye focusing a bit annoying.Overall a great addon, and no restart is added bonus.

Very handy addon. Despite that there are free desktop software doing annotations better, this addon has a killer feature: full page capture - few desktop programs can do that and definitely not as fast AFAIK. Great work!

BTW I do hope that the shape could be modified - currently if you drag a rectangle into a certain size and release mouse, you can't change its size again. It's etched on screen. Undo helps but modification would be better, especially if you want to modify it many steps later and do not want to undo all steps.

I used to use ChromeBug to debug for addons, but it only works with FF5 and lower. Venkman is no longer updated but it still works with FF13.0a2 as I tested. There's some quirks when using it to debug, and its UI is not as well designed as ChromeBug (heck, even the webkit's Developer Tools is inferior to Fire/ChromeBug's UI), so if you only debug JS on webpages, use Firebug instead.

For addon debug though, Venkman still works with the latest FF and helps a lot. Thank you very much! Saves me quite some time.

One of the two best Chinese translation addons! I especially like the offline dictionary, very convenient. Thanks for the great work!

However, three things are less optimal: 1. There's no icon on addon bar (only a long text description), this makes it impractical to drag it to toolbar so one could hide addon bar to save vertical space. 2. Maybe more importantly, mouseover popup gets annoying quite quickly. If there's an option to change to select word then popup that'd be much better! 3. If you disable the popup by clicking on the text on addon bar, when FF is closed and start up again, it's in enabled mode again because the default option is to enable popup on browser start. IMO this option should be turned off by default and browser start up should keep the last saved state of disabled/enabled.

BTW it still works in FF8 if you have addon compatibility reporter installed.

One of the two best Chinese translation addons! Thanks for the great work!

If it could work offline then I could really call it the best one! Being able to translate whole sentence AND words at the same time is really convenient. Select-n-popup works well. Well designed addon!

BTW it's working now, so I guess the dictionary hosting site is fixed.

Essential for JS developers for FF! Chromebug is also critical for Addon developers. Please update Chromebug for FF6+. Looking back, I don't know how I was able to develope addons without Chromebug before!

Firebug's slower but nicer/better thought out compared to webkit debuggers. The only major "flaw" is that it makes programmers lazier - I used to spend more time to carefully think about my JS code when a bug's found, now I just step through in Firebug and find/fix the problem quickly.
